Verification for blocking

When you want to block your sim card, it’s not that easy as if there is no verification method, everyone can block each other phone. They will ask your name, your address, what proof did you submit when you get that number, your last transaction, such as the last recharge, last call etc. once they get confirmed that it is your number which you need to block, they will send the request to block the number. It will take 10 to 15 for totally blocking that number. Now the person who has your number cannot use it as there will be no network in it.

Documentation

You need to bring the same document to get the duplicate sim. It’s important that you take that proof. For example, nowadays everything is connected with Aadhar card, but if you have taken your old sim with your driving license, you need to bring your driving license to get a duplicate sim for the same number.

Visiting store

You can visit your network provider store and mention them about the duplicate sim, they will check your number status, if they found its blocked and reason for it would be lost on stolen, they will proceed. You can also block your sim card from the store also.

Submitting Form
